IT is wonderful to see how much
ingenuity is displayed by some women,
who, with very little money, are always
dressed in perfect taste, and with no
apparent effort keep furniture from
looking shabby, and carpets bright and
fresh, and can place before company a
delectable but inexpensive tea; but
these things are accomplished by much
thought and a deal of hard work.
BARBECUED HAM.-Cut your raw
ham in slices; soak in scalding water
for half an hour; then lay the slices
fiat in a frying pan, pepper each, and
spread on each one-fourth teaspoon of
made mustard. Pour in vinegar in pro-
portion of half a teaspoonful to a slice;
fry quickly, turning over. When done
take out and serve on a dish; add to
the gravy, half a glass of wine, and a
teaspoon Of sugar; boil up ono and
pour over the meat.
Chop fine the remnants Of cold chick
en- left from dinner. Boil a cupful of
milk, and thicken it with flour, in
which has been rubbed a piece of but
ter; season with salt, pepper, and a
dust of nutmeg. Mix with the chick
en-. 1t should be about the consistency
OF croquettes. Pour it into a baking
dish, and set It in the oven until a skin
forms on top. and the surface shakes
with the ebullition of the heated
heart. Poach some eggs, and lay over
the top, and serve at once.
THE best method of removing rust
from a polished CRATE is TO scrape down
to q fine powder some b~ath-brick, put
1t into a little oil, and rub the spots
well with q piece of flannel dipped in
the mixture, after which apply some
whitening, also well rubbed in. This
process must be repeated daily until
all trace of the rust has disappeared
TO prevent the CRATE or fire irons from
becoming spotted with rust, 1t is agood
plan to rub them over with the fat
from the inside Of a fowl, and finish
them off with whitening.
SAvoRY EGGS Take four eggs. boil
them hard, when cold shell them and
cut them in half l~engthwise, take out
the yolks and beat into a smooth paste

ter, half a ~teaspoonful Of anchovy
sauce, and cayenne pepper to taste
This should all be thoroughly mixed
with the yolks; then fill the white halve.
with this paste. Serve on a napkin
and garnish with parsley. This is
most appetizing dish, either for Dime

sons.
